Poison Blade glanced at the three of them and said indifferently, “Just attack together.”
The three killers were furious.
Just now, the other party had taken advantage of them because they only sent one person to attack.
Now, they felt that if they attacked together, the other party would definitely die!
After killing this Mu Qiang and the person suspected to be Tianyu Lan, their mission could also be considered to be completed!
The three assassins attacked from the front and back, their sharp blades stabbing towards Poison Blade’s glabella, throat, and heart!
In just a short period of time, Poison Blade had already seen the detailed information of the three of them with his High-Level Observer skill.
If he was not mistaken, including the one he had instantly killed, the four of them were all assassins with high damage output and low health.
It was also very difficult for those who were not assassins to hide in such an ordinary alley and wait for them to take the bait.
Moreover, their concealment methods were especially brilliant. Even with his [High-Level Perception], Poison Blade did not discover them in advance.
In the past, [High-Level Perception] could detect hostile enemies from at least 50 meters away.
Now, it only warned him when they walked into this alley.
Facing their attack from both sides, Poison Blade directly activated [Lightning Wind] and his speed increased explosively.
The three killers’ attacks directly missed. Before they could react and figure out where Poison Blade was, a snort sounded from the side.
A killer felt his heart turn cold. He looked down and saw that his heart had actually been pierced by a sharp short sword!
“What a high critical hit… This situation seriously does not match up with the information we obtained from our investigation…”
The assassin was incomparably aggrieved before dying.
What the hell was with the information sent by the informant in the Secret Service?
The information had clearly stated that this Mu Qiang was an assassin who was good at hiding and escaping.
How could he be so different from the information?
Seeing another companion fall, shock flashed across the faces of the remaining two assassins.
The skills this Mu Qiang had mastered seemed to be far more than what was recorded in the information.
Not to mention anything else, the skill that suddenly increased their movement speed greatly just now was something they had never seen in the information.
Moreover, this person’s damage output and critical hit were much higher than expected.
The three of them surrounded Mu Qiang, but it was as if they were all rushing forward to die.
“Let’s split up!”
The two killers looked at each other and quickly realized that they had to leave here alive with their newly-obtained information. Otherwise, the next assassin sent to carry out the mission would still suffer.
The two of them ran left and right.
Poison Blade shook his head.
How many times had this happened since he came to this world?
Be it ordinary martial artists, genius martial artists like Dart, or level nine Eighth Realm experts like Garuda, they all ran away when they could not defeat the other party!
Did these people have any morals?!
“You guys want to escape? Of course I won’t let you escape!”
Poison Blade used [Flash] and immediately appeared behind an assassin.
Under the other party’s shocked gaze, he pulled out his sword and slashed the other party’s neck.
The last assassin heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately.
This assassin felt that Poison Blade probably did not have the means to catch up to him anymore.
He had to tell the others about this.
There was a very powerful person protecting the girl suspected to be Tianyu Cai!
In that case, it was not difficult to guess that this girl was very likely Tianyu Cai herself!
The assassin was not far from the entrance of the alley.
He could even hear the voices of the people outside the long alley.
“As long as I can reach that place…!”
The killer was hopeful.
The next moment, lightning enveloped him.
Plop!
His speed plummeted and he fell to the ground.
He looked down and his heart turned cold.
He was actually bound tightly by many lightning threads.
With every struggle, the threads would release lightning, numbing his entire body and making him unable to move.
The assassin’s eyes widened in anger. “You… How do you know [Lightning Chains]?!”
This skill was the famous [Lightning Chains]. As an assassin, he was knowledgeable and naturally knew it.
However, he did not understand very much. The information clearly stated that this guy was an assassin!
It was very difficult for assassins to meet the skill learning requirements if they wanted to learn the [Lightning Chains]!
The learning requirement for this skill was at least 200 Spirit points.
Where did Mu Qiang get so many attribute points?!
Poison Blade smiled and said, “Can’t I learn more skills in my spare time?”
The assassin was extremely unwilling. “If you antagonize us, you won’t…”
Click.
The short sword cut through his skin, trachea, and esophagus, causing blood to splash.
Before the assassin could finish speaking, he fell to the ground.
Lin Xuan controlled Poison Blade to check their bodies as usual.
There were still very few items that dropped.
There were hundreds of thousands of essence, more than a hundred Mystic Realm Pearls, and some blood pills that were very similar to the Hungry Ghost Blood Pill.
“The Zombie Blood Pill. This increases agility and movement speed. It’s suitable for assassins.” Poison Blade smiled. “Their battle with me ended too quickly, so they died before they even had a chance to eat the blood pill.”
“Mr. Mu is so powerful!”
At this moment, Tianyu Lan had already walked over with a shocked expression.
These were four Seventh Realm assassins, but Mu Qiang had actually dealt with them so easily.
She had indeed not misjudged him back then.
Compared to Murata, this Mr. Mu Qiang was not just powerful, but ridiculously powerful!
“That Lightning Chains just now is my secret skill. You’re not allowed to tell anyone,” Poison Blade said calmly.
Tianyu Lan nodded repeatedly. “I know.”
“Let’s go home and make braised pork!” Poison Blade chuckled and picked up the bags of ingredients again.
The two of them walked out of the long alley, leaving behind four corpses.
The next day.
Poison Blade made breakfast for the two girls at home as usual and arrived at the Secret Service Division in Kosaka City early in the morning.
When he arrived, a group of Seventh Realm martial artists had actually gathered here!
Many of them were unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before.
Murata was also among them.
On the ground were four corpses.
It was the four assassins he had killed last night.
Some martial artists who were proficient in observation squatted down to check their injuries with solemn expressions.
“What’s going on?” Poison Blade approached and was shocked.
He acted very well and even took a few steps back in fear.
Murata smiled helplessly. “At dawn, someone discovered these four corpses in the alley. After checking, we discovered that they had some pills that were similar to the Hungry Ghost Blood Pill on them. They should be working alongside those who were after Miss Tianyu.”
Poison Blade had a shocked expression again. “Heavens, they actually dared to carry out an assassination in Kosaka City!”
Murata gritted his teeth. “This is a provocation to our Kosaka City Secret Service Division!”
“Mr. Murata, the results of the investigation are out. The fatal injuries on the four corpses are all sword wounds, and almost all of them were instantly killed. There’s also one person who was clearly injured by a lightning skill. We suspect that it might be the Sixth Realm skill [Lightning Chains].”
A white-clothed martial artist walked over and reported seriously.
“What do you think happened here?” Poison Blade asked.
The white-clothed martial artist glanced at him and did not answer.
Murata smiled and said, “Don’t worry. He’s a member of the Secret Service Division in Kosaka City.”
Only then did the white-clothed martial artist reply, “My guess is that at least two people killed them. One of them was an assassin with high Agility and critical hit, and the other was a mage proficient in [Lightning Chains].”
“Oh? How do you know that he’s proficient in Lightning Chains?” Poison Blade asked.
The white-clothed martial artist said solemnly, “According to the wound analysis, the binding time was at least 4 seconds. This means that this mage profession has at least 270 Spirit points. Moreover, the level of his Lightning Chains skill has also reached at least purple.”
Poison Blade raised his thumb. “I see. That’s some valuable insight!”
His praise made the white-clothed martial artist very happy and slightly smug.
“By the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is Hirano Yuta from the neighboring Furuya City.” With that said, Murata whispered, “He’s the son of the head of the Secret Service Division in Furuya City. Remember to build a good relationship.”
Poison Blade nodded repeatedly and replied in a low voice, “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Murata.”
Hirano Yuta frowned. “What are you two talking about?”
Murata laughed. “I hope Mu Qiang can be like you and develop such exquisite analytical skills.”
Poison Blade nodded. “That’s right, that’s right. Hirano’s analysis just now was on point. You were able to instantly deduce the general information of the killer.”
Hirano Yuta nodded proudly.
At this moment, three men arrived at the same time.
Murata hurriedly said, “The three section chiefs are here!”
The martial artists who were analyzing the corpses hurriedly stopped talking and bowed slightly to the three section chiefs.
“These three are?” Poison Blade was very surprised.
Why did all three section chiefs arrive together?
Murata said in a low voice, “It’s the three Secret Service Division section chiefs of Kosaka City, Furuya City, and Inochi City!”
The three section chiefs smiled and walked over.
Murata also raised his head and pointed at Mu Qiang. “Section Chief Fujiwara! This is the Mu Qiang I’ve mentioned to you many times.”
The chief of the Secret Service Division of Kosaka City was a short, shrewd, and cautious bald man.
He sized up Poison Blade and nodded with a smile. “Not bad, not bad. I’ve long heard Murata mention you. Fortunately, thanks to you, we learned that Miss Tianyu was being chased.”
The section chief of Furuya City and the section chief of Inochi City also said in surprise, “So you’re the Mission Demon. We’ve also heard a little about you.”
Hirano looked at Poison Blade in surprise.
A few days ago, he had heard about a person who crazily did missions and entered and left the mystic realm to save martial artists. Hirano did not expect that person to be Poison Blade.
“Um, may I ask why you guys are…?” Poison Blade was a little puzzled.
The section chief of Kosaka City waved his hand. “We discovered a person suspected to be Miss Tianyu! However, she also seems to have been targeted by another group of people. We guess that those people are very likely the black-clothed people you mentioned!”
The section chief of Furuya City snorted. “Someone actually dares to attack Lord Tianyu’s daughter. They’re really tired of living!”
The section chief of Inochi City also had a solemn expression. “We have to find out who these people in black and the mastermind are! We believe that Lord Tianyu should have the same thoughts!”
“Everyone, follow. The target is Hirano Plains!”
Lin Xuan was surprised. Hirano Plains was originally a Fourth Realm mystic realm. Every few days, it would be swept through by Fifth Realm martial artists, so there were very few demon beasts.
Hirano Plains had always been a stable granary for Kosaka City and the nearby cities.
The soil there was fertile and suitable for planting crops.
A large number of high grade grass also grew, allowing them to herd cows and sheep.
However, the appearance of the burning earth demons recently caused the crops to fail.
The burning earth demons came and went without a trace. Even the Fifth Realm martial artists could not find them.
However, because there was indeed no need to go to a Fourth Realm mystic realm, Poison Blade had never been there.
The person suspected to be Miss Tianyu was actually in the Hirano Plains?
At this moment, Murata leaned over and whispered, “Mu Qiang, let me tell you this… We also just discovered that the Hirano Plains have actually become bigger! Moreover, it’s accidentally connected to the Sixth Realm mystic realm, Hungry Ghost Village!”
